Original Abstract Submitted
A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for mitigating carbon emissions. Data is obtained indicating an overall amount of power consumption for a plurality of nodes in a service provider network, wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is located in a different geographical location, and wherein the service provider network provides service to a plurality of service provider network users. A fraction of network traffic is determined that is handled by the plurality of nodes in the service provider network for serving a particular service provider network user. A service provider network user power consumption is determined for the particular service provider network user based on the fraction of network traffic and the overall amount of power consumption. An amount of emissions is determined resulting from generating electrical power to support the service provider network user power consumption for the particular service provider network user.
